Poem
All of our lives changed for good. We’d all change it if we could. We’d all bring back Clay, For just another day. Oh, all the things we would say. If we knew, He’d never see the next morning dew. The hardest thing to say, Goodbye. Although if we said this, it’d be a lie. Because we’ll all see him some other day. Because of the price, the good lord paid. And in the Lord we will find our strength. To deal with this time of struggle and length. Without a person who was so near So dear To our hearts And will be to the end and has been from the start. Many of us just lost : A friend. A Brother. An Uncle. A Papaw, A Son. But for me and my sisters, We lost the one who used to cover our blisters. The one who changed our dirty dippers. And when we would cry, he’d act as windshield wipers The one who tries to help us cope. The one that for us has high hopes, The one when we’d mess up, he’d get mad. The one we got to call dad. I’m sorry for being mean, rude, obnoxious, loud. But ill do my best to make you proud It’s hard not knowing. The pain I believe is showing. We don’t ever know, When it’s someone’s time to go. We leave them with anger and rage, Without a thought that soon All too too Soon Have to start a new chapter. Turn the page. With the lights turned down dim. Without him. Looking into the future may seam a little grim Not knowing what to do without him. The way he’d rub my feet, After I came home tired and with defeat. The way he would just talk and talk. And back on the trail, we’d walk and walk. Or maybe even ride our bikes. Either way its all alike. Picking a few of the prettiest flowers And at home in a vase they’d tower. Wishing he was still here. Because his time just didn’t seam near. It isn’t what any of us would of thought. Its what any of us would of fought. Many of us fighting it now. Sitting with silence and tears wondering how? Haven’t eaten. Haven’t slept. But the Lords plans we’ll soon have to accept.....
